Thawing Out the Frozen.

Many persons have the idea that life
is endangered only, if the patient be
brought too suddenly from the cold into a
warm place. They believe that, if one pro-
coed very carefully and slowly with the
warming, the cold can never produce a
lasting injury to the system. There is
certainly no doubt that sudden warming
is very dangerous, and that great deal
depends upon the right treatment of the
frozen limb. Experience shows that,
while some people have frozen joints
treated in such a manner that they are
completely restored, Others are less fortu-
nate, and suffer frequently in after-years.
But one must admit that intense cold
alone, without being followed by sudden
warming, which proves so disastrous,
suffices to cause severe suffering. In
this respect, a great deal depends on the
nature of the person. If very sudden
transitions from heat to cold and from
cold to heat be avoided, a healthy person
can withs and intense cold without
serious consequences, especially if he be
mentally active, energetic, and muscular,

pulse be regular and strong. A robust
person can withstand the temperature at
which alcohol and mercury freeze.
Members of north pole expeditions
have experienced temperatures of fifty or
more degrees below zero without suffer-
ing harm.
However, it happens not unfrequently
that even moderately cod weather, when
the thermometer is but few degrees be-
low the freezing point, causes serious
ills, and sometimes even fatal results.
This is apt to happen to persons who are
anemic, poorly fed, effeminate or men
tally depressed, Old men, children,
anemic girls, drunkards and people
with a weak heart, are all liable to be
frost-bitten, and easily freeze to death if
they succumb to sleep while exposed to
cold. They fall into kind of stupor,
sit down to rest, soon fall asleep, and in
most instances never awake. For long
time they remain in a condition border
ing on death; they breathe little, and
the heart makes feeble attempts to main
tain the circulation of the blood.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

I LOVE THEE.

A young girl walking by stream
In silent thought, maids day-dream,
Knelt down upon the glistening sand
And there wrote with her soft, white hand:
"Ilove thee!"
A youth lay in great trees shade,
Just on the border of the glade,
And when the maid had gone away
He wrote below, the self-same way:
II love thee!"
Years after, in great armchair,
A woman sat with silver hair;
A manly formly stood by her side.
And said: II love you still, my PRIDE"
And soft the gray-haired dame replied:
81 love thee!"

Origin of "JOhn Bull"

The national name for an Englishman
was derived from the name of DR.. John
Bull, famous music composer in the
time of Queen Bess. Travelling 'ncog-
nito in Europe he accomplished some
very rapid composition, which led to the
remark that the author must be either
the Devil or John Bull. The name was
unknown previous to this event, but has
since become synonymous for an English
man.-Detroit Free Press.
